JOHN NORDLIE, USED WITH PERMISSION
CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER VERSION
When the Moon was eclipsed by Earth last week, John Nordlie of Bloomington, MN, got lucky and, with skill, photographed something that almost no one else saw. Nordlie happened to have his digital camera held to the eyepiece of his telescope as a plane flew in front of the Moon. The eclipse was thrilling for people in much of the Western Hemisphere. Those who missed it -- or those who'd like to match Nordlie's luck -- will have another chance on Nov. 8-9 this year. -- Robert Roy Britt Return each weekday for a new SPACE.com Image of the Day.
